Chapter 480

Constantine paused, then silently turned to look at Leon, staring at him without uttering a word.

Leon paused, then pointed to his nose. "What? You didn't leave the principal and vice-principal hanging just to have a chat with me, did you?"

"Ah, this is your honor, human."

Leon: "This is your honor, human!"

"... You really deserve a beating. How has the Silver Dragon King put up with you all these years?"

Leon shrugged. "Love arises with the child, but the heart is still heavy when the child is gone."

"..."

Constantine sighed.

Even now, he still can't accept that he was beheaded by such an idiot back then.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something rather...personal." Constantine hesitated somewhat, which was unusual for him.

Leon raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Do you and your wife plan to have another child?"

"..."

Leon's eye twitched slightly, and he involuntarily lowered his hand. "Why are you asking this?"

Leon thought to himself, "Could this guy be here to ask me for parenting advice?"

However, it can only be said that Lao Kang is indeed Lao Kang; even the strongest Dragon Slayer could not predict his thoughts.

Constantine: "If you have that idea, do it as soon as possible. I hope Hefei can enroll in the Saint Hiss Academy at the same time as your next child."

"Huh? Why, why?"

All that could be heard was Old Kang speaking in an extremely serious tone, which had inexplicably become heated.

"I will defeat you, so my child will defeat your child, definitely."

Leon:...

Only a battle maniac like you could think of something like this!

50. To strengthen the Dragon Race is our inescapable duty.

Leon didn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, so he didn't talk to Constantine for too long.

Just after he said, "My child is definitely better than your child," Principal Olet appeared in the college square.

Constantine then went to talk to the principal and vice-principal about the matter.

The two left the rooftop one after the other, about two minutes apart.

Leon walked out of the teaching building, through the crowd, and found Losweiser and Claudia chatting.

"Hi, senior, are you here to see Helena off?"

Leon took the initiative to greet him.

Claudia nodded. "I originally planned for Helena to come by herself, but I also wanted to try some different parenting methods."

She smiled and looked at Leon, "I'll learn from you and Losweiser. You'll have to teach me sometime."

"You flatter us, senior. We don't have any special teaching methods. We just let nature take its course."

"Did Constantine just come to see you?" Losweiser asked.

Leon nodded. "Yes."

What did you talk about?

"We talked about the matter of his clansmen's offspring re-enrolling in school. Constantine was quite responsible, personally coming to talk to Principal Olet about this matter."

Losweiser nodded. "Oh, that's quite a grand affair."

"You borrowed the Nether Lotus Herb from me before, saying it was to save Constantine's daughter. Did he mention this to you just now?" Claudia asked.

"Yes, Hefei —oh, Constantine's daughter is named Hefei. She's alright now and is slowly recovering with the help of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan's alchemists."

Leon paused, scratched his forehead, as if he wanted to say something, but then stopped himself.

Losweiser tilted her head, immediately realizing that the scoundrel had only said half of what he meant.

"What else did he say to you? Don't lie to me, I can tell from your expression." The Queen said seriously.

However, before Leon could speak further, Claudia, standing beside him, said with some surprise,

"You could tell that?"

Sea Dragon First Princess was a seasoned and knowledgeable woman who could usually discern a person's intentions by observing their micro-expressions.

But Leon's behavior just now wasn't obvious at all; Claudia thought he had only exchanged a few words with Constantine.

"I've been married to him for almost six years, and I know exactly what he's thinking."

"I'm thinking of you, my wife."

"... idiot."

"You two have had your fill of dog food, can you get down to business?"

Losweiser blushed slightly and turned her head away, her hands clasped to her chest, her tail tip awkwardly brushing the ground.

Leon cleared his throat twice, chose his words carefully, and said...

"Constantine said..."

Claudia raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Tell me?"

He said~~

Losweiser turned to look at him and urged, "What exactly did Constantine say?"

"They said they want us to have another child."

Losweiser & Claudia:?

A gentle breeze swept by, but it couldn't dispel the bewilderment and awkwardness in the air.

And it seemed as if a crow flew across the heads of the three of them, leaving a row of periods.

However, despite the many flaws in this simple sentence, so many that it's hard to know where to begin, it didn't stop the Silver Dragon Queen was used to seeing big scenes.

"He's been acting strange ever since you cut off his head, so it's understandable that he would say something like that."

Losweiser sighed and shrugged.

"So why is that? I can understand my sister urging us to have another child, and I can understand my grandmother urging us to have another child, but Constantine has absolutely no reason to interfere in our family affairs, right?"

"So the Melkwy family really loves children..."

Hearing the whole family urging the couple to have a baby, even Claudia couldn't help but sigh.

Leon scratched his nose and said,

"Constantine said he would definitely beat me someday."

"Then what?"

"Then his child will definitely defeat my child... But to be fair, he won't let Hefei and Noa Muen face off, so he wants us to have another one so that everyone will start on the same footing."

"... What an outrageous reason. But when you think of Constantine, everything makes sense."

The Crimson Flame Dragon King is a well-known battle maniac, a fact that is common knowledge among the Dragon Race.

Even so, Losweiser did not expect that he would be able to transfer his will to the next generation.

It seems Old Kang is really obsessed with defeating that scoundrel...

"So, did you agree to be with him?" Claudia asked a crucial question.

"I... haven't decided yet."

As Leon spoke, he walked to Losweiser's side, naturally took her hand, and continued,

"Actually, Losweiser and I discussed whether or not to have a third child some time ago, but we still haven't made up our minds."

Claudia crossed her arms and looked at the young couple, asking, "Is there something you're worried about? Are you afraid that Noa and the others will be jealous if you have another baby?"

Losweiser shook her head. "We're not worried about that. Noa and the others are very sensible and won't be jealous. They've even mentioned to Leon and me several times that they want to have another sister or brother."

"Mu En said she wanted to have another sister," Leon added from the side.

Losweiser playfully nudged his arm. "She's too young to understand this, and neither do you, do you?"

Leon chuckled and didn't say anything more.

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him haughtily, then continued speaking.

"What we're worried about is... the current situation is unclear. Although the empire has fallen, the clues we've discovered since then have forced us to take it seriously. So having a baby at this time might interfere with Leon's important business."

Upon hearing this, Claudia's thoughts stirred slightly, and she blinked her beautiful blue eyes.

"Delaying important business? What important business? Continuing the investigation into the Imperial remnants and the mastermind behind it?"

Leon pursed his lips and nodded. "Yes."

"Oh, that is indeed important. But—"

Claudia paused deliberately, making the couple listen more attentively.

"This doesn't mean that having another baby isn't a serious matter."

The couple paused, looked at each other, but neither said anything, instead waiting for Claudia to continue.

"To be honest, it's not just the Red Dragon King and your grandmother in the Melkwy family who like children, is it?"

The beautiful woman chuckled, "You two must really love children, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to raise Noa and the others to be so outstanding."

Claudia is right.

Whether a parent likes a child or not can be directly observed from the children they raise.

Moreover, the fact that Leon is a doting father to his daughter is not only widely known among the Silver Dragon Clan, but also among Claudia of the Sea Dragon race.

As Losweiser and Leon spent so much time together, some of her deeply ingrained beliefs began to change gradually.

During the two years Leon was in a coma, she was very strict with Noa and Mu En. Compared to a mother-daughter relationship, her relationship with her daughters was more like a strict monarch-subject relationship.

This is perfectly understandable; Dragon Race raise their children this way, including Claudia before she met the couple, who treated her daughter Helena the same way.

Six years of cohabitation had transformed the once indifferent and cold-hearted Silver Dragon Queen into an excellent and qualified mother.

So neither she nor Leon were afraid of the birth of a new life; they were simply unable to make up their minds to have another baby due to their current circumstances.

"You're right, senior. Leon and I both really like children, but..."

"Since you like children and are not opposed to having another baby, what is there to say but?"

Claudia smiled faintly, glanced at Leon, and then looked at Losweiser.

She finally understood what the young couple was thinking.

They are indeed worried that getting pregnant now might interfere with some things they are doing, but deep down they also have a strong desire to have another baby.

The two conflicted, so they were waiting for a reason, a reason that would make them decide to have a child.

"Investigating the Imperial remnants is the important matter, so having a baby isn't?"

Claudia said, "Our Dragon Race is already small in number. Although you two have contributed three indicators, it is still far from enough."

"... Senior, it's true that Dragon Race are few in number, but isn't it a bit much to entrust the arduous task of expanding the population entirely to Leon and me—"

"You have the advantage!"

"What advantages...?"

"First of all, you two are very much in love and there is no potential crisis of divorce;"

Secondly, the quality of Human-dragon hybrid is significantly higher than that of pureblood Dragon race;

"Finally, dragons born from cocoons cannot reproduce too many times, otherwise the mother will become extremely weak, which is also the reason why our Dragon Race is so few in number."

However, viviparous dragons do not have this risk; after ten months of pregnancy, the mother's body recovers completely within two weeks after childbirth.
